Niamh Hand Dyed Silk Merino Yarn - The Spilled Inkwell

THE SPILLED INKWELL: HAND DYED SILK MERINO YARN

The Spilled Inkwell is hand dyed to evoke the rich, velvety darkness of ink stains, capturing the essence of a forgotten letter or a midnight scribble. Its tonal variations add depth and intrigue to your knitting or crochet projects, making it perfect for shawls, scarves, lightweight garments, and accessories.

LUXURIOUSLY SOFT & VERSATILE

Spun from a luxurious blend of merino and silk, this yarn is soft, smooth, and a pleasure to work with, offering clear stitch definition and a subtle, elegant sheen. The merino is ethically sourced from non-mulesed sheep.

HAND DYED TO ORDER

Hand dyed in small batches in Donegal, Ireland.

Please note that, as with all hand dyed yarn, each skein is beautifully unique, and colours may vary slightly even within the same dyelot. Colours may also vary from screen to screen. To keep your knitting consistent, we recommend buying enough for your project at once.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Gently hand-wash in cold water with mild detergent or wool wash. Test swatch when combining light and dark shades, as deeper colours (especially reds and neons) may bleed. Squeeze excess water out before drying flat.
